What is the origin of the term "vaxhole" and how is it used?
"Vaxhole" is a slang term for a person who is arrogant, self-righteous, or obnoxious about their vaccination status. It emerged in English in the early 2020s during the COVID-19 pandemic, combining "vax" (short for vaccine or vaccinated) with the vulgar insult "-hole" to criticize behavior perceived as smug or morally superior. The term is used in informal, mocking, or critical contexts, often online or in casual conversation. It is mildly to moderately vulgar, derogatory, and context-dependent.
Examples
The vaxhole lectured everyone in line at the coffee shop.
